About The Inn at The Bradford Dimond Norris House

The Inn at The Bradford Dimond Norris House, one of Bristol's most distinguished landmarks, occupies a prominent place within the Bristol Waterfront National Register Historic District. Constructed circa 1792 as the residence of Deputy Governor William Bradford, the house remains an outstanding example of Federal-style architecture. In the mid-nineteenth century, noted architect Russell Warren designed the addition of a third floor, thoughtfully complementing the home's original character.

Guests are welcomed into an elegantly preserved historic residence featuring a gracious foyer with a sweeping mahogany staircase, a formal parlor, dining room, second-floor sitting room, and five individually appointed guest rooms. Throughout the house, period furnishings, comfortable antique beds, and a carefully curated collection of Rhode Island antiques reflect the property's rich architectural and cultural heritage.

While honoring its eighteenth-century origins, the house offers modern comforts, including central air conditioning and private bathrooms in every guest room. Accommodations feature multiple sized beds, and three rooms showcase beautifully crafted ornamental fireplaces with original decorative mantels.

A full, hot breakfast is served on Saturdays and Sundays, while guests staying during the week are offered a thoughtfully prepared continental breakfast.
